During the prestigeous ISEE-ISEA Joint Annual Conference: Exposure and Health in Global Environment, we presented the results of our study on the combined influence of asbestos exposure and genetic polymorphisms of managese superoxide dismutase and catalase on the risk of asbestosis. Our results received a lot of attention as this was the first study of catalase polymorphisms in asbestosis. In addition we were the first to study gene-environment interactions in the largest cohort of workers occupationally exposed to asbestos so far.
